I'm gonna miss this place. It's a cozy little board game cafe with great coffee, Tea, and Boba. They have fun community nights and a nice atmosphere. It's queer-friendly and not adult-oriented. Come experience it while you can.
Kid-friendliness: While not a kid-oriented space, it is very inclusive to people of all ages.

It's a great little coffee shop, the food they sell is wonderful little baked goods, all the drinks I've tried so far I've enjoyed. However that's just the food. The service and staff are wonderful as well, every time I have gone, they have been nothing but nice to me. They have a great selection of board games, and allow you to play them, or bring them home for a time for a little bit it of money. It's a amazing little place. I love it a lot, and love...
